    3. List,      I know this doesn't pertain to Lanark per se, but I got no response from the Dumfries-Galloway list, and am hoping someone on this list knows something about any of this.  I'm sure that some of it pertains to Lanarkshire directly or indirectly.           I found the info below, and am wondering if anyone knows the where abouts of Brigholm & Northfield, and any identifying info about Robert Johnstone of Newbie, and William Maxwell of Kirkhouse.       Also, does anyone know anything about King's Chaplains & Scotch Bishops?   Thanks,   Marc Archer   The Historical Families of Dunfriesshire and the Border Wars CHAPTER IX      http://www.electricscotland.com/history/dumfries/index.htm   The Kirk land of Kirkpatrick-Fleming which had belonged to Robert Johnstone of Newbie was conferred on William Maxwell of Kirkhouse by a royal charter dated Whitehall, Jan. 10, 1607; and Brigholme and Northfield, the property of the same Laird, were sold by his son Robert, in 1610, to Mr Patrick Howat, one of the King’s chaplains, afterwards a Scotch Bishop.
